This is a totally wild plant that has established itself from behind the scratchy plant.

Gardenia December 2012

Now that I have cut back this area im hoping that the Gardenia will flourish a bit more. It got trampled on by the cable person but as you can see, its very well established with a solid base. Now that the area is clear and that i'll keep it clear I might get some success out of it.

Gardenia

Apparently it flowers. I know it gets affected by frost, hopefully it will become hardier as it gets older.
